Tobey Maguire, the 49-year-old actor known for his role as Spider-Man, has been the subject of online trolling and speculation after being spotted with 20-year-old model Lily Chee at a Fourth of July party in the Hamptons. Pictures from the event showed Maguire with his arm around Chee’s waist, and the two were wearing matching all-white outfits.
However, Maguire’s ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer, has come to his defense, dismissing the rumors as “nonsense”. In an Instagram comment, Meyer explained that Tobey Maguire was simply “kindly helping a friend to her car, being a good guy” and that he was being “blasted online for dating someone he is not”.

Neither Tobey Maguire nor Chee have officially commented on the nature of their relationship. Chee, who has appeared in various TV shows and short films, posted pictures from the party on her Instagram account.
The significant age difference between Maguire and Chee has drawn comparisons to his The Great Gatsby co-star and friend Leonardo DiCaprio, who has a history of dating much younger women. Some social media users have pointed out the double standard, noting that female celebrities often face more scrutiny for dating younger partners.
